 Not done A close would not help now. The text that was under discussion has changed significantly since the RfC was started. Some of the issues under discussion appear to be unresolved but if people are concerned about that it would be easier to start a new discussion that takes the current text as a starting point. To cap it all, the RfC is in a talk-page archive. Yaris678 (talk) 18:03, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

WP:RSN#Removal of material with Ludwig von Mises Institute connections

Because so many WP:BLP talk page discussions are about this issue over and over again, and variations on it have been brought to WP:Reliable Sources Noticebaord repeatedly - and because the articles all are under Austrian economics/General sanctions - it would be helpful if an experienced admin could close this WP:RSN thread. There seems to be a fairly clear, but less than perfect consensus. It was opened January 9th and the last comments were January 12, so if it's not ready for a close now, by the time someone has time to look at it, it should be ripe. Thanks. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 02:58, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

'Comment A bot archived it to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 163#Removal of material with Ludwig von Mises Institute connections. Armbrust The Homunculus 15:02, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
I thought bot closure meant that what I see as a clear consensus could be put in the article, but the editor reverted my changes per the WP:RSN, so I guess we'll need an official close on this. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 00:18, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
The bot didn't "close" the discussion, it just archived it due to lack of activity. In either case though, I wouldn't expect that to have an effect on someone involved being able to close the discussion. However if someone objected to your close on the grounds that you did not correctly interpret the consensus, then yes you would need to come here I think. Gaijin42 (talk) 01:04, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for clarification. And he asked me to come here. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 01:14, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
@Carolmooredc:Please be clear. You had already come here.

Talk:Numbers (TV series)#RfC: What should we call this article?

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Numbers (TV series)#RfC: What should we call this article? (initiated 14 January 2013)? Wikipedia:Requested moves generally runs for seven days, though this discussion is listed as an RfC. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 08:29, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello. I'm sorry that it took so long to talk to you about this; I just learned about this ANI.
I'm the one who called for the RfC. I did so because one editor has changed the title of the show unilaterally without discussing it with the editors who work on the page first, and, since the change, that editor has been arguing that s/he did the right thing in regards to MOS:TM. In addition, someone did attempt to revert the article's title to the correct title twice, but the offending editor re-reverted the change both times.
The title of the article had been relatively stable from the time the article was created until the change; the only time that the article's title did change was when editors decided that the title should be in sentence case and not all caps. As you can see here, most of the editors made the argument that the name should not have been changed because the use of Numb3rs was much more prevalent in reliable sources than the less common Numbers. I was pretty sure that most of the page's editors would have liked a third pair of eyes on the situation, so I filed the RfC. (The editor who we have been arguing with did suggest that we use a WP:RM to change the article's title back, but I could see that the relatively recent move from Numb3rs to Numbers (TV series) was already controversial in itself.)
Honestly, I did not expect it to turn the RfC into another debate between that editor and me. (A full disclosure here, that editor and I have also been arguing the issue over at MOS:TM.)
If I have done anything wrong in the eyes of the administrators, I'm sorry. If not, what is the next step? SciGal (talk) 21:45, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi SciGal (talk · contribs). You have done nothing wrong. You listed a move discussion as an RfC rather than at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Most move discussions are listed at WP:RM, but it is acceptable to list them as RfCs.

There were related discussions about this at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive764#Request for move protection at "Men's rights", and other action (August 2012) and Wikipedia talk:Article titles/Archive 39#RfC: RM is standard practice for reaching broad consensus for controversial page moves (October 2012), and there was no consensus that RfC couldn't also be used to move pages.

I think it is better to list move requests under WP:RM, where the RM tag is removed only when the discussion is closed, whereas many discussions listed under RfC are unclosed after the RfC tag is removed by the bot.

To answer your question, the next step is to wait for an admin to close the requested moves discussion. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 10:33, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

  • To the closer, please consider Talk:Numbers (TV series)#For your curiosity in your close. Cunard (talk) 10:33, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
    • The above wall-of-text should really be hatted. AN is not the place for SciGal to argue her case, especially not with crap like: "moved back to the correct title", and "the editor we are arguing with", which falsely implies that only one editor is against her proposed title. There's another falsehood concerning the initial move, which was done without controversy. The editor who moved it has not taken part in the discussion, nor has he been asked to. Finally, I object to Cunard's request to the closer. Cunard moved the section in question into the RfC to make it more visible, so it's quite obvious that the closer will consider it. I ask that someone hat everything here (this thread included) except the initial request for closure. Joefromrandb (talk) 07:22, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:High Speed 2#RfC on Units

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:High Speed 2#RfC on Units (initiated 20 January 2014)? According to this comment by an involved editor, "Opinions from outside editors were overwhelmingly in support of the metric unit precedence." The disputed change was first made on 26 November 2013. An edit war followed on 1 January 2014. There was a lengthy discussion beginning 1 January 2014 about units at Talk:High Speed 2#Units.

I ask the closing editor to combine the two related "Units" section and assess the consensus in both discussions. Otherwise, I ask that the closer mention in the close that he or she considered the previous discussion.

Given the robust discussion and the edit war, a formal close by an uninvolved editor would be helpful in recording the consensus. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 10:33, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

This proposal for merge has been open for three years, and there's a clear consensus. I know I can close it myself, but I don't know what's done in those cases. © Tbhotch™ (en-2.5). 19:27, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

@Tbhotch: If you can close it, you should. It is my understanding of WP:MERGE that the merge discussion closer does not have to actually perform the merge. Any editor can perform the merge, based on the consensus of the discussion which would be interpreted through a close. If you follow the steps on WP:MERGE to close the discussion, it will add the closed merge discussion to the Category:All articles to be merged, or you can ping one of the original merge discussion initiators to see if they would like to do it. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 17:03, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Li (surname)#RFC regarding multiple Chinese surnames transliterated to the same surname in English

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Li (surname)#RFC regarding multiple Chinese surnames transliterated to the same surname in English (initiated 19 November 2013)? The opening poster wrote:

There have been various discussions over the last few months both on this talk page and at Talk:Li (surname meaning "profit") Archive 1, Archive 2 (and probably elsewhere, I can't remember!), resulting in a recent AfD, and subsequent overturning of the "merge" decision to "no censensus" at the deletion review. We seem to be at a stalemate situation, with one group of editors fully supporting a merge, and another dead against it, and to be frank, it has turned a little nasty. We really need wider views on this, but I hope any editor wishing to contribute here will take the time to read the previous history and fully take into account the points raised by both sides in the past. It may be a good idea for us editors who have been most active in the previous discussions to take minimal part in this one, in order to have some fresh opinions given, and to avoid the same spiral we have been going down. Points that should be addressed should consider whether there is a necessity to have separate articles, or whether a single umbrella article will do, and if multiple articles are deemed necessary, how these should be named with regard to the use of Chinese characters in the article titles. Thanks!

Comment Zanhe only placed the discussion between a {{archive top}} and {{archive bottom}} template, but a summary of the discussion is still needed. Armbrust The Homunculus 17:27, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
I agree with Armbrust (talk · contribs)'s assessment of the situation. A closure is beneficial because the issue keeps resurfacing as demonstrated by the multiple discussions (see Armbrust's comment here). Cunard (talk) 10:33, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
I got a message on my talk page asking me to summarize the outcome of this RFC. As Armbrust noted above, I merely added archive templates several weeks after the RfC became inactive and closed by a bot. As I was an active participant in the discussion, I don't think it's appropriate for me to summarize the outcome, but consensus is quite clear for anyone who cares to read the discussion and the votes. -Zanhe (talk) 06:41, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
Given that the conclusion is pretty evident, close seems to be sufficient but by all means if there is a non-involved closing word then that would be okay. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:44, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
Comment 0x0077BE requested at the talk page, that "someone summarize the results of this RfC for posterity". And I agree with them. Armbrust The Homunculus 09:49, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

This move goes against most common name in English: A simple research in google books will yield nothing for Pelinovic. Most common name is Gjergj Pelini, but I will agree to a move to George Pellinus, which is what Robert Elsie calls him in his historical dictionary.

From Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions#Determining consensus:

However, sometimes a requested move is filed in response to a recent move from a long existing name that cannot be undone without administrative help. Therefore, if no consensus has been reached, the closer should move the article back to the most recent stable title. If no recent title has been stable, then the article should be moved to the title used by the first major contributor after the article ceased to be a stub.

Note that according to Wikipedia:Consensus#No consensus:


Therefore, if a page has been moved from a longstanding title, and it is not possible to move the page back to its original title during the discussion, the default title will be the title prior to the contested move.

If the closer concludes that no consensus has been reached, I recommend moving the article back to its stable title. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 10:19, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

There are multiple issues.  I reverted a relist as I think prolonging this discussion is disruptive.  There was never a deletion argument.  Topic is litigious.  Nude photos of the topic are part of the discussion, and editors are using f-bombs.  The topic is a pastor and editors are using profanity.  Note that I requested review at WP:BLP for the f-bombs and profanity.  The bots are still having trouble a week after the initial opening of the AfD.  Unscintillating (talk) 12:31, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2014 February 21#Template:Bibliographies of film directors

This is something of a snow close request. The template was nominated for deletion on specious grounds by an editor who has had run-ins with the creating editor. Since then, only one other person has said to delete: another editor who has had a run-in with the creating editor. The rationale of both these editors has been questioned, and their arguments have been dismissed as inappropriate. Eleven others have supported keeping the template on fairly good and solid grounds. - SchroCat (talk) 16:44, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Need an Admin to Close a Group Photo Deletion Request

A discussion about some proposed deletions of historic photos which had written permission from their source, the San Francisco Public Library, is about 7 days old (see link below).
Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2014 March 1#Terrific Street
It seems that of the 3 photos which were recently tagged with Deletion Requests, the below photo has still not had its templates modified to any extent to reflect any result of that discussion.
File:Terrific Street Facing East 1913 San Francisco Pacific Street A1.jpg
The other 2 photos of that single deletion request have had partial adjustments to their deletion templates but I have to wonder if they are still unresolved (see links below).
File:Spider Kellys Dance Hall with Little Egypt 1911 SFLibraryCode AAB-1265 mono.jpg
File:Dancehalls of Pacific Street Facing West San Francisco 1909 SFLibraryCode AAB-6692 CropA.jpg
Is there an admin here who could make a determination as to the consensus of that discussion, and possibly close that discussion and make final adjustments to the Photo Files Tags? James Carroll (talk) 00:51, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/RfC for AfC reviewer permission implementation

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/RfC for AfC reviewer permission implementation (initiated 16 January 2014)? Please consider the previous RfCs in your close:

  1. Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/RfC 2013 (closed 23 August 2013)
  2. Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/RfC Reviewer permission (closed 8 October 2013)
  3. Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/RfC for AfC reviewer permission criteria (closed 13 January 2014).

The discussion is listed at Template:Centralized discussion. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 10:19, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Note to potential closers: I have commented on earlier RfCs so I really shouldn't close since I'm somewhat involved, but here is my take on the consensus you can use as a cheat sheet, or even just rubber stamp if you are willing to stand behind it as your own:
  • There appears to be rough consensus for Anne Delong's 6 point whitelist-only approach.
    • There is some concern about the word "banned" in point 3 as bitey, and imprecise as we aren't talking about WP:BAN, and rough consensus to change that to something softer. No particular consensus on the exact softer wording, but that could be worked out later.
    • There was some discussion about whether a separate blacklist is necessary, but rough consensus seemed to be that de-whitelisting is effective as a blacklist with less social stigma.
  • All users involved seem to recognize there's no technical way to enforce this in any real sense at this time, but the AfC helper script could be modified to not function unless they are on the whitelist. No current technical means will stop users from installing a "hacked" AfC helper or just manually moving pages. No consensus to use editfilter for technical enforcement.
  • A point was raised that a negative userright such as "denymove" could be used for technical enforcement, but even the proposer suggested that was something that would require a new community-wide discussion and would likely be controversial, so as such, should be considered out-of-scope for this RfC.
  • To sum up the last two points, there does seem to be rough consensus of the participants that a secure technical means to enforce the whitelist is desirable, but not currently available, and that new proposals for such a thing would require a new community-wide discussion, since they might prove controversial.
Hope this helps. Gigs (talk) 17:03, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Russia#Adding stress marks to Russian names

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Russia#Adding stress marks to Russian names (initiated 8 January 2014)? The discussion is listed at Template:Centralized discussion. The opening poster wrote:

Hi all, as some of you will know, some time ago there was a proposal to remove stress marks from Russian words that appear inside the text of articles on the English Wikipedia. The decision was to keep the stress marks, as there is consensus that they are useful.

Because they are useful, some of us are interested in taking this to the next level, and actively add stress marks to as many articles as possible. We'll only work on Russian words that appear inside calls to the lang-ru template, and we will only add the stress marks when we are sure that it is safe to do so, that is, that the information is correct and there is no ambiguity.

Could I please ask you guys if there is consensus for this task? I would really appreciate your support, because I want to improve as many articles as possible.

I did a quick count and found nine supporters including myself and several other admins, every last one of us with long edit histories on a variety of subjects and behaviour records that speak of our commitment to Wikipedia policies and polity.

The discussion should not have been archived by the bot until after a week had passed.

If Middayexpress (talk · contribs), who initiated the site ban discussion, wants to unarchive the section for the further discussion, then I recommend unarchiving it. Otherwise, I withdraw my closure request because there is insufficient participation in the discussion to make a determination to ban or not to ban. Cunard (talk) 10:18, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

I think User:Cunard's unarchiving was helpful, as it permitted additional comments in light of Kendite/يوسف حسين latest, post-OP block on Ta'izzi-Adeni Arabic. There appears to be enough comments now for an admin to assess the consensus. It seems that all who weighed in except one user were in favor of a site ban. Middayexpress (talk) 14:42, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
I unarchived the discussion so more editors could review the situation and determine whether Kendite should be banned. I don't think a close of the ban discussion at this time would be helpful, but would an admin take a look and either close the discussion or say "not closed"?

It has been over a week of discussion on a timely matter. While I see a certain consensus, the issue is quite touchy and a bit of a battleground. Discussion seems to be dwindling and certain users (myself included) have basically been WP:HORSE. It seems ready to be closed to me, but I would like to request that an admin or uninvolved 3rd party consider closing this RfC based on the many many comments and policy arguments made.
